I would like to know if this is the triglyceride form of fish oil rather than the ethyl esterase form. I have asked the company, but a strait answer

Label says, delivers more ethyl esters per capsule than any other fish oil capsule available.

The bottle says the DPA comes from ethyl esters. It says it is clinically proven to maintain healthy triglyceride levels. No fishy taste for me. One of the highest potencies on the market. Even my doctor, who was trying to push the brand he sold at his office, had to admit this was a quality brand. Expensive, but worth it.

I checked their website.Ocean Blue® is made from the ethyl ester form of Omega-3 fatty acids.

It is all natural and states an allergy warning for a small amount of soy derivative content. It is also pharmaceutical grade, which has always been a determining factor for me as being a good natural product. I have been using it for months now and can attest that it has no aftertaste and has porved to be a good product. Thanks for the other helpful info listed below too. It only affirms my choice. I've tried a handful of other fish oils and so far I've been impressed with this one.

The product label does not breakdown the content by EPA and DHA. It does state that the total Fish oil is 2000mg and the total Omega 3 fatty acids are 600 mg. It also does state that it has EPA and DHA but does not give a content breakdown for either. Hope that helps you!

No, as they say on he GP website, this product is a food, not a supplement. Just like any food, the amount of certain nutrients is not exact. For example, a piece of salmon from one fish will have a different amount of EPA than a piece of salmon coming from another fish. So it will be different from bottle to bottle of the oil.

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.

Hi Snow C. No, New Chapter Wholemega does not contain Ethyl Ester. That chemical is used as an extraction method by some companies but New Chapter "presses" out the oil similar to the process of making olive oil. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for more detailed information. Let us know if we can help you with anything else? --Regards Holly Hill Health Foods

I had the exact same concern because the labeling says it's the same product. I did some research and was surprised by what I learned. According to what I read, it's only olive oil that is genuinely graded between virgin and extra virgin and apparently regarding organic coconut oil, there is no distinction whatever--only one kind! I was quite surprised but it does taste exactly the same as the old product which I have been using for about 7 years.

By "what is" I assume you mean what are the amounts of ingredients of the two fatty acids, not what is their function or definition. As listed on the label, the NB Fish Oil 1400mg provides the following:Each capsule (softgel) contains 1400mg. of Fish Oil, providing 980mg. of total Omega-3 Fatty Acids, comprised of the following:EPA.......647mg.DHA......253mg., plus "other fatty acids" in unspecified amounts.It is derived from fish, anchovy, mackerel, and sardines.If you have further questions, please feel free.

I am not certain but it appears to me that when a fish oil is Molecularly Distilled it creates EE form.

I have the 1200 mg fish oil burp less soft gels. They have total omega 3 fatty acid 720 mg, omega-3 EPA as ethyl ester 360 mg, omega-3 DHA as ethyl ester 300 mg, omega-3 other 60 mg.

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

To answer your question on omega-3 forms...not sustainability....the omega-3s in krill oil are bound by phospholipids, which are thought to be somewhat better absorbed by our bodies than the triglyceride bonding in fish oils. But the thing is, the amount of omega-3 in krill oil is very minor compared to fish oils. Plus, there are solvents left over in the krill oil from extraction. Fish oil has no left over solvents. If you are looking for high amounts of omega-3, go with fish oil. If you want to pay excessive amounts of money for the same omega-3s in krill, go ahead. I choose the fish oil. :) And for sustainability, they say that krill are more sustainable than fish, but only time will tell. Again, it takes a LOT more krill to make any omega-3s in any quantity compared to fish. Personally, I think krill is turning out to be over rated. But to each his/her own.

The label reads "Contains: Fish (Anchovy and Sardine) and Soy." Its label shows "Ingredients: Fish Oil Concentrate, Gelatin, Glycerin, Water, Tocopherol."I'm puzzled why soy is not shown as an ingredient; unless maybe it is only a trace amount. Unless you have an allergy to soy, I would use the product.I have had great results. My cholesterol level dropped by 1/2 and I haven't even had a cold in at least the last 3 years.

Not enteric coated but absolutely no fish oil taste even if chewed. Best and highest DHA available. NOW does have fish taste fyi.

Looking at the bottle . . . it said the fish oil capsule contained EPA and DHA, but it did not inform as to the number of mg in the capsule. Sorry I could not be more help.

It is pure fish oil with lemon and peppermint essences added for flavor and vitamin E (alpha-tocopheral) added for extra vitamins and to extend shelf-life. If you don't like the flavor of fish, there's good chance you'll still like this. I detest fish but want the benefits, so I found a way around the flavor - I freeze it in a small tupperware container, scoop out a tsp, slide it off onto the very back of my tongue, then take a big swig of hot tea and swallow. Works like a charm!
